Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals including an air fryer! Interior matched photos and was very clean. Beds were comfortable. It was convenient to all shoppkng and restaurants and a very short walk to the beach thru the parking lot. Loved the chair options on the private beach!

Our stay was enjoyable. This was a girls' week trip. The condo was the perfect size and layout. The bedrooms upstairs allowed us to live "dorm style" and have chats each morning while getting ready for our adventures. the kitchen had everything we needed. The back patio was beautiful. Patrick did not exaggerate when he wrote that the pool is one minute away and the ocean is 3 minutes. The condo is central to every thing you could want to do. Weather was extremely hot so we spent more time in the condo than usual. The TV roku in each room was a wonderful addition!

This is yhe third year we have stayed at this condo and it never disappoints. The location is great and is a short 2-3 minute walk till you are on white beaches looking at the gulf and relaxing and the owner is great to reserve from and work with. We have never left without already talking about next year. Will continue to reserve this condo!!!

Beach was great! Location is perfect. Taylor, the beach attendance, very nice and accommodating. Owner, Patrick, very easy to work with, great communication. Condo is dated, but that was not reason for three star. We communicated some house cleaning issues, that i trust will be addressed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This is our 2nd year staying at Southbay (south end). We love the location of Southbay as you have access to any and everything you want to see and do; restaurants, stores, attractions etc. Our host Patrick was wonderful! Our unit was perfectly equipped and clean. The beach and pool access are phenomenal!! We are already looking at booking our 2026 family vacation at Southbay!!!

Property was very clean. Patrick the owner was easy to communicate with. I appreciated that he engaged directly with me about codes, checking in and out. It was also accurate that the condo was a three minute walk to the beach with access to beach chairs and an umbrella.
